Modal Decomposition in Goalpost Micro/Nano Electro-Mechanical Devices

Special Section on Recent Development of Electro-Mechanical Devices - Selected Papers from International Session on Electro-Mechanical Devices 2004 (IS-EMD2004) -

Recent electronic devices and systems have been making great progress in, for example, digitizing, down-sizing and high signal-rate transmission. For such devices and systems, electro-mechanical devices including electrical contacts as well as electrical and optical signal interconnections are fundamental and critical technical fields and have been continuously improved. Furthermore, in accorda...

Modal Expansion Modeling of the Electro-mechanical (e/m) Impedance Response of 1-d Structures

The electro-mechanical (E/M) impedance response of a 1-D structure interrogated by a PZT wafer active sensor is modeled from first principles. Equations of motion for the flexural vibrations under moment excitation from the PZT wafer are developed. Solution in terms of normal modes with internal damping is obtained. General expressions for pointwise dynamic stiffness and pointwise dynamic compl...

Nano-opto-electro-mechanical systems.

A new class of hybrid systems that couple optical, electrical and mechanical degrees of freedom in nanoscale devices is under development in laboratories worldwide. These nano-opto-electro-mechanical systems (NOEMS) offer unprecedented opportunities to control the flow of light in nanophotonic structures, at high speed and low power consumption. Drawing on conceptual and technological advances ...
